Complete with illustrations, 'Assholes' by Twitter legend James Felton presents to you the worst people who've walked the earth - the dickheads you've heard of (Christopher Columbus take a bow), the ones you haven't (enter Queen Ranavalona I), and the ones you'll wish you hadn't (all the rest).
'Scurrilous, scandalous and frequently disgusting. I absolutely loved it' James O'Brien Twitter hero James Felton brings you the painfully funny history of Britain you were never taught at school, fully illustrated and chronicling 52 of the most ludicrous, weird and downright 'baddie' things we Brits* have done to the world since time immemorial - before conveniently forgetting all about them, of course. Including: - Starting wars with China when they didn't buy enough of our class A drugs - Inventing a law so we didn't have to return objects we'd blatantly stolen from other countries - Casually creating muzzles for women - And almost going to war over a crime committed by a pig 52 TIMES BRITAIN WAS A BELLEND will complete your knowledge of this sceptred isle in ways you never expected. So if you've ever wondered how we put the 'Great' in 'Great Britain', wonder no more . . . *And when we say British, for the most part we unfortunately just mean the English.
Through examining 99 of the Sun's most divisive headlines, James Felton - with his trademark wit and humour - tracks the grizzly evolution of British society since the '60s, and aims to answer the age-old question: 'Does media reflect - or manipulate - who we are?'
The painfully funny history of Britain you were never taught at school, chronicling some of the ludicrous things the British have done to the world since time immemorial - and then conveniently forgetting we've done them, of course.
